JAMIE McCARTNEY PHYSICAL PHOTOGRAPHY
The Physical Photography series evokes an Old Master style and palette with a soft focus yet vivid modeling of flesh. McCartney is decidedly painterly in his approach taking photography in its literal sense of approach, painting with light. The ‘camera’ is in physical contact with the model as the images are slowly produced. A single image can take up to two hours. An emphatically collaborative and intimate process, McCartney redefines the relationship and the distance between the photographer, equipment and model, and the resulting images are imbued with a strong sense of personality.
